bush for his eight years in office. tell me first about this photograph right here, as the president and vice president. >> i'd like to call this photo timing is everything. it's a picture of the president and the vice president checking their watches at the same time but it's one of those lucky moments that i captured during the first early parts of the administration, and what i like about this picture is it's a great example of how timely president bush was. he usually started his meetings on time or early, usually early, and so this is really a unique fund moment. and those are the moments that are unscripted, moments that are surprises between all the formal meetings and all the protocol. those are the fund moment for me to capture as the white house photographer. >> how did you become the white house photographer? >> in my case, i was a news photographer. i was staff with "the associated press," and after the election in 2000 you might remember the recount where the election was and decided that evening. well, dur

even if barack obama or bush wanted to, obviously the secret service would not let them get out of the limo and interfere with a mugging or run to a building. it's a different kind of job. it has a symbolic power. in the end we're not surprised when you see a mayor out at the site of an accident or pulling somebody out of a burning buildings, ultimately the mayor sees himself, herself, first of all, as a neighborhood. someone who has to solve problems. this is reflected by the way in the statistics. we know that the trust in public authorities in american throughout the western world and much of the world has plummeted. congress has 12% in some poll, the presidency, not this president, the 30 and 0th. this president is considered wildly popular because he has 52% support right now. the supreme court numbers have gone down. mayors and city counsel are still in the '70s and '80s. some say it's the hallow effect. you are exempt from the general critique. neighbors retain trust in democracy that has been largely lost elsewhere, which means also our relationship to our town and city and cit

bush was president. you know why, mr. president? he said that carbon pollution wasn't covered in the clean air act. well, all you had to do was read the clean air act. i'm not an attorney, but it's right there. right there. it says in essence, here are the following pollutants that are covered, and it listed greenhouse gas emissions. but, oh no, we had to take it all the way -- he took it all the way to the supreme court and wasted eight long years while the problem gets worse and worse. so here's the deal. here's a quote. "washington school of public health. university of washington. dr. howard frumkin says in public health when faced with threats to entire populations, we act. for infectious diseases we vaccinate. if 98% of the doctors and scientists say vaccinate to prevent illness, there's always 2 % who are going to say don't do it. but we go with 98%. we vaccinate. for lung cancer, we ban smoking. we didn't stand with the doctors who were paid off by big tobacco. we stood with the doctors who had an independent judgment. and w

people said president bush was irresponsible. he should have been more wary of the grand promises that the economy would never have a recession and that things are going to go great. he should have. the next to the last year when he was in office, the budget deficit was $167 billion. it had dropped from a higher figure in his time in office. his last year was $450 billion or $460 billion. president obama has been in office four full years, starting his fifth, and his deficits have been averaging 1,200,000,000,000 dollars a year. we have never, ever seen anything like this before. it has surged the united states of america and our democratic colleagues don't have a plan that will put us on a sustainable path in the future. if we come back out of the economy, we restrain the spending growth just a little bit, we can balance the budget. that's what we ought to do. and again, a goal of balancing the budget is not just some frivolous goal for political reasons. the goal of a balanced budget is that we would put us on a sound financial
